Chapter Eleven

Amara

I can’t eat. Nothing sounds appealing or even tastes good. Especially this morning. Today is going to be a rough one, and I’m thankful for having Alden by my side.

“Hey,” Nathan whispers as he comes into the kitchen. The twins are still asleep.

“Hi.” I give him a smile.

“Did you get any sleep?”

I shrug. “Not really.”

He wraps his arms around me and pulls me close. “It’s going to be okay. If you need me, I’m only a phone call away.” He kisses my forehead.

“Thank you.” I lean in and softly peck his lips.

“I really want to take you on a proper date.”

“We will. It’s all crazy right now. Once it calms down we’ll date.” I softly laugh.

“Amara, I care deeply for you. I want you to know that.”

I nod. “I do know and the feeling is mutual.”

This time he leans in. His lips press against mine, and I dig my fingers into his hair. His touch is soft but with a deep connection. I can feel he wants more, like me, but we both know to take it slow. It may have taken me a bit longer to figure it out, but there’s plenty of time for us to do more lately.

“Your phone is buzzing.” He pulls away.

“Right.” I didn’t even hear it. “I told Alden to text me. I don’t want to wake up the boys.”

Alden: I’m here. Are you ready?

That’s a question I’m not sure I really know the answer to.

“I’ll be here.” He gives me another small kiss before I grab my items and head out the door.

When I get in the car, Alden doesn’t look as if he got much sleep either. As he pulls the car away from the curb, I look down at my outfit.

“Am I dressed okay?” I decided to wear a pair of purple leggings with a gray tunic. I left my hair down and didn’t really wear a lot of makeup.

“You’re fine.” He gives me an encouraging smile.

“I wish I knew what to expect.”

“We’re going to go in there, say our peace, and then leave.”

“Do you want to meet our half-brother?” It’s a question I thought about a lot during the night.

“The truth is I don’t know. On one hand, I don’t want anything to do with Jack. On the other hand, I can’t imagine my life without you and I shouldn’t punish a kid for something he had no control of.”

“I’m having the same dilemma.” I confess. “I guess we’ll make our decision after this goes down.”

He nods.

We remain silent, lost in our own thoughts, as we make our way to Mom’s place. I know he’s there because Mom texted us already. My stomach is turning and flipping as Alden parks the car. My palms begin to sweat and my entire body is shaking.

“I don’t know if I can do this.” I admit as we step out of the car. My legs can barely keep me upright.

“We don’t have to. We can leave, go get some breakfast, and never see him.
